No and I don't think very highly of Cliff Couser either but that's who Tony Thompson beat before he got his fight with Vlad. The rest of Thompson's record is littered with equally wonderful names.

The fact is that the heavyweight division is rubbish. There's nobody at heavyweight that I want to see fight including wither of the Klitschkos. If I have to watch them fight I've seen them in with enough big fat bastards with the mobility of the Statue of liberty to last me a lifetime. Unfortunately that kind of fighter appears to be the only option at heavyweight to challenge them so instead of yet another big fat useless bastard I'd prefer to see a chinny cruiser who has speed and a punch have a go.
Thompson at least paid his dues and climbed up the rankings little by little. He wasn't totally unworthy. Haye has pretty much gotten his shot by running his mouth. That impresses you? If you think about it, this will turn into a meaningless fight. Right now it has meaning and intrigue cuz Haye has managed to delude a bunch of foolish people into thinking he has a chance. To be fair those peoples Boxing knowledge is poor to begin with, so I can't really hold it against them. But in reality once Wlad stretchers Haye early all you will hear and read is Wlad beat up a smaller fighter with no jaw and poor stamina. The win will quickly be dismiss. And in the long run it will mean little. It will be come meaningless.
